Specialty Pieces
So many baskets! So little time!
Specialty basket options are virtually unlimited. These are few representative samples.
Ice Buckets
These matched ice buckets are walnut with scrimshaw accents. Knobs and scrimshaw are "eco ivory" which is a lovely man-made material that mimics look and feel of real ivory, but does not have the legal restrictions that ivory imposes.
​
Ice buckets come in 7", 8", and 9" sizes. These are 8" diameter.
8" Ice Bucket
A commissioned wedding gift, getting plenty of use by its lucky recipients. Congratulations!
Trio in Oak - Spa/Vanity Set
An exercise in Oak, and in manufacturing my own materials.
The tallboy and bowl are both 5" diameter, and the striped handled basket is 6" diameter.
​
As of 2024 I manufacture all my own materials, including scrimshaw.

Tall Vase with Seahorse
In rare cases, the basket mold stays in permanently. This basket surrounds a glass vase, for use with fresh flowers.
​
The 10" tall basket is Cherry wood and cane staves, with bone accents.
Gentleman's Basket in Exotic Rosewood
This shape is called a racetrack oval. The base is rosewood and the maple rims have rosewood inlay.
Staves are maple hardwood. A sturdy and stately basket to collect a gentleman's keys, wallet, and sundries.
Matched Multiples
I specialize in matched basket pairs. The sister baskets at left are one example, but I've also done sets of bridesmaids baskets, sets of Easter baskets, and Mother-Daughter coordinated totes.
